Times Square Shooting: 2 Reported Shot By Police
Multiple outlets reported that police shot two bystanders in Times Square on Saturday night while trying to control an unstable pedestrian.
CBS Local reported that police were "trying to corral an emotionally disturbed man who was moving in and out of traffic" around 42nd Street and 8th Avenue when they opened fire.
The New York Daily News reports that the two unintended victims were a 35-year-old woman and a 54-year old woman.
According to CBS, both victims suffered "graze wounds."
